Under what circumstances (natural or unnatural) could a sentient cell develop?

I am trying to find a way to justify the creation of a single celled sentient (sorry intelligent) being. It's general structure is not specifically apparent although it should have the ability to either compel or "convince" other types of cells to do what it wishes. I am really unsure how to explain its existence. I had one idea, which was "these things just get created when humans time travel", but that just feels... A bit ridiculous to be honest. It kinda feels like a convenient cop out, and so I would rather look for other options.
